I'm torn
And ripped in temptations wake
I've lived

Half a life I'm desires slave
Of love
And of lust and of life he speaks

In thrall
I'm the victim until it sleeps
I'm bound

To this medusa blind or stone
I'm held
At the mercy of the unknown

Can't shake
The black hearted, still I roam
Can't change

How it started, the beast comes home

You choke like smoke

And define like a stain
You reign and the flood
Washes all but my name away

Temptation come my way
Temptation take the day


Hey hey
This is the lid to my coffin case
You lay

Six feet of deep just to separate
Pine tar
And pitch and a rusted hinge

What's left
Of a life that temptation spent
Hey hey

You are the storm and the sun will drown
I love
To love the way that you let me down

And if
I ever strut bring me right back down
Remind

Me today that temptation's still in town

You choke like smoke

And define like a stain
You reign and the flood
Washes all but my name away

Temptation come my way
Temptation take the day


Watch this

You choke like smoke

And define like a stain
You reign and the flood
Washes all but my name away

Temptation come my way
Temptation take the day
